Tim & Aurelia Sanders

Leading Ladies

Your most cinephilic friends: They’ve mastered the art of smuggling snacks into the theater and have old awards ceremonies taped over home videos on VHS. They can recite their favorite scenes by heart, with gusto-and they need this poster. Made in celebration of strong female leads throughout history, the interactive artwork deserves a space on any film buff’s wall. Lightly scratch the surface to reveal a notable character. You'll also learn the movie she’s from, the year it came out, and the rating. Featuring much-loved heroines and under-the-radar exemplars, it’s a fun way to guide a movie marathon, or just show stars of the silver screen some love. Made by Tim & Aurelia Sanders in Madison, Wisconsin.

Tim and Aurelia Sanders think people should enjoy more mirth. They mixed together data visualization, writing, and humor to create artwork that was smart as well as funny. Their process begins with a mix of ideas and sketches, which are gradually refined through research, experimentation, and "occasional hair pulling." Timothy employs his background as an art director and playwright, and Aurelia keeps their projects well edited and on track. "It's a great pleasure to see a passerby stop at one of our posters, lean in close, and start to laugh," they say.
